 Definitely the missing manual, but little more April 27, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
"iPhone: The Missing Manual" is definitely a good replacement for the user's manual that was not in the box ... and probably much better than what Apple might have put there. The author covers most if not all of the functionality of the device and includes relevant screenshots and diagrams. His prose is readable and generally devoid of technobabble. It is easy to read, easy to reference, and certainly easy on the eyes.
Pogue's book arguably deserves five of my review stars since the content does indeed follow the title, but it is a little *too much* like the manual in my opinion. While he does present some interesting anecdotes about the development and marketing of the device and some tips you wouldn't ever get from the manufacturer, I expected more from a third party and especially O'Reilly. The troubleshooting chapter is not much longer than one would expect in the manufacturer's version. The "Hacking the iPhone" section, which is where one would think might be the meat in an O'Reilly book, is a disappointing four page appendix.
I wholeheartedly recommend this for the lay user, but the technically-savvy can get all they need from a ten minute perusal at the book store.
THE MISSING LINK April 26, 2008
Good beginners book. Most of the info I figured out prior to owning this book. There were a couple of things I learned, but is an excellent reference guide. Would suit a beginner really well and would recommend it to friends should they decide to take the i phone plunge.
Simple to use April 25, 2008
I always like to go beyond product manuals. They are usually badly written.
This book help you decipher the maze of information, and gives you additional tips.
 iphone missing manual April 12, 2008
The best book i have encountered which details step by step how to get the most use out of the iphone.
Highly recommend it for all iphone users
Absolutely necessary April 6, 2008
iPhone, THE MISSING MANUAL is absolutely necessary. I couldn't do without it.
Manuals are always awful. You need "The Missing Manuals".
This series cover a complete Manual.
I dare to suggest for the Author another Series of SHORT VERSIONS for starters.!!
